eVerse.AI: Bringing AI into Dairy and Livestock Farming
Ashish Sonkusare, Co-Founder & CEO
This futuristic vision is being brought to life by eVerse.AI.
The cutting-edge tech company is transforming traditional farming in India and the U.S. with AI-engineered products. Leveraging IoT, AI, ML and Generative AI technologies, eVerse.AI delivers tangible benefits such as improved milk quality, enhanced farmer income and increased overall farm profitability.
“Our technology intertwines profitability with sustainability,” says Ashish Sonkusare, co-founder and CEO of eVerse.AI. “By monitoring livestock health and reproductive cycles with precision, we not only enhance productivity but contribute to the broader goals of reducing environmental impact and promoting sustainable farming methods.”
The ConnectedCow platform is at the heart of this innovation. It features a wearable device for cows, akin to a Fitbit, designed to track various biomarkers in real time, including physical activity, breathing patterns and body temperature. Equipped with accelerometers, gyroscopes and GPS sensors, the device continuously gathers data and transmits it to the cloud-based platform. The advanced AI and ML models then analyze the data to predict crucial health indicators, particularly the cow’s heat cycle. Detecting subtle behavioral and biological changes accurately identifies a 12 to 14-hour window for optimal artificial insemination, maximizing pregnancy success and optimizing herd management.
Should the cow experience any health issue, the platform sends real-time alerts to farmers, enabling prompt intervention by technicians or veterinarians.
The technology has had a profound impact. The device has reduced inter-calving periods from 16 to 18 months to 12 months, boosting milk productivity by up to five months per cow. With an average milk yield of 10 liters per day per cow, farmers can expect a significant increase in income. Its success is evident through its widespread adoption, with over 20,000 devices deployed in India alone in the past year.
What makes the solution particularly attractive is its pricing model. There are no recurring fees, as it offers upfront pricing inclusive of the device and phone app for Android and iOS. With just one successful insemination cycle, farmers can recoup the device cost.
Gen AI for Dairy and Livestock Businesses
Another massive stride made by eVerse.AI is the introduction of CowGPT, the world’s first Generative AI product tailored for the dairy and livestock industry. Since the launch, the product has gained remarkable traction, attracting over 0.1 million users within just three months, including farmers, frontline workers, researchers, veterinarians and nutrition experts. The popularity has surged with endorsements from academic and governmental institutions. CowGPT also has won a national-level competition called “AI for Public Good” organized by the Government of India.
Through collaborations, CowGPT is set to be integrated into healthcare systems, benefiting over 20 million animals owned by 8 million farming families. With 350 million cows and 75 million farming families in India alone, the potential reach and impact of CowGPT are immense, promising widespread adoption and utilization nationwide.
eVerse.AI also elevates its offerings with GreenCow, the world’s pioneering livestock sustainability platform. It empowers dairy companies, cooperatives and individual farmers to embrace eco-friendly practices like feed additives, biogas digesters and renewable energies. By implementing such an initiative, users can generate premium carbon credits through well-regarded agencies. GreenCow has collaborated with Cornell University to use their RuFaS model for methane quantification and measurements.

GreenCow has already made significant progress with a large project in collaboration with a state government in India to assist 7.5 million farmers in reducing methane emissions and earning lucrative carbon credits. It not only mitigates environmental impact but funnels the generated income directly into the pockets of farmers, ensuring a sustainable and profitable future for the dairy industry.
eVerse.AI has been strategically navigating its way to industry acceptance and validating its AI-powered products by collaborating with universities to publish compelling research that demonstrates the efficacy of its technology. This evidence-based approach has been instrumental in overcoming skepticism and building trust among dairy farmers and industry stakeholders, including NGOs and government bodies in key markets such as India, the U.S., Australia and New Zealand.
The company’s partnerships with notable clients showcase the real-world benefits of its technology. Collaborations with Mother Dairy, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) in India, and Amul, an Indian multinational cooperative society, have allowed eVerse.AI to conduct large-scale pilots that effectively demonstrate how the AI solutions can enhance milk productivity, optimize artificial insemination and reduce operational expenses for dairy farmers.
Operating with this purpose-driven ethos, eVerse.AI aims to broaden the availability of its solutions and foster mass adoption. Together, eVerse.AI and its partners aspire to create a lasting impact on the agricultural landscape, ensuring the company’s innovations benefit the sector for years to come.
